An Lingyan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ning'an, was misled since childhood and had misaligned emotional cognition. He was often accompanied by his same-sex confidants in the mansion. At the age of sixteen, he was forced to marry Lin Chenxing, who was not taken seriously by the Duke's government. On the wedding night, the old lady arranged for the two to consummate their marriage. Due to the conflict between inner cognition and reality, An Lingyan felt resentful towards Lin Chenxing. After the marriage, he often treated Lin Chenxing with cold treatment and harsh criticism, and even belittled his dignity in public. Lin Chenxing only wanted stability and silently dealt with the affairs of the family.
An Lingyan went on two expeditions, and when he returned for the first time to see his eldest son turn one year old, he decided that Lin Chenxing had "designed to have a baby" and became even more harsh on her, even if she became pregnant again. During his second expedition, he was seriously injured in a plot by the Duke's Mansion. This coincided with the death of the old Marquis, the denomination of the Marquis Mansion, and his family was exiled to the countryside. In desperation, An Lingyan vented his anger on Lin Chenxing, causing her to develop a hidden illness. Later, when he met the woman he fell in love with, Lin Chenxing realized that she did not only like people of the same sex, and she was completely heartbroken.
An Lingyan secretly contacted his old troops to plan a comeback, and finally returned to the capital to attack the prince. Only then did he see clearly that Lin Chenxing was supporting the Marquis Mansion alone, taking care of the young and old, and dealing with nobles, but she was still despised by the Beijing circle and squeezed by the Duke's government. Moreover, her third pregnancy was already overwhelm her body.
Guilt awakened An Lingyan, and he repented and tried his best to protect Lin Chenxing. The two worked together to settle old grievances with the Duke's government and seize power in the court. The former abuser learns to cherish, and the "substitute" who was once trampled upon grows into a side-by-side partner. The couple goes from hatred to conspiracy, from conspiracy to pity, and finally protects the lintel of the marquis's house and remains dignified and affectionate for each other for the rest of their lives.
Reader comments
It's very sad [I almost cried] The author also wrote it very delicately. The male protagonist is really annoying. He hates the male favorites the most. I hope the author will hurry up and the male protagonist will get rid of all the male favorites. [Angry] The good thing about the article is that the male protagonist does not have a childhood sweetheart, a doctor, a brothel girl, or anything like that. It looks pretty good.
I hope the ending is he [sending my heart]
